The bride is determined to surprise her husband when she walks down the cathedral aisle and equally de termined to prevent dress firms trom making quick copies. There will be almost a week of festivities, including two football games and a special appearance of a London ballet, preceding the ceremonies. There will even be two ceremonies, a day apart.

There will be affairs with men in white tie and dress uni forms and full medals, their ladies In rich ball gowns, ablaze with gems. Fairy Tale Roma act That's the fairy-tale romance, a real-life reenacCment of every little girl a dream of happiness, The pretty blonde girl from Inde pendence, Mo., will marry the newspaperman from Zebulon, N.C., son of a druggist, ia the small red brick Trinity Church of Inde pendence where ber mother and father were married and where she sang in the choir. A reception will follow at (he home of the bride's parents. This is the American teen-ager's real-life marriage. This is the story of a typical wedding, full of sim plicity and warmth, even though the bride is a president s daughter, Both of these weddings will take place next month and a nation, sentimental and Incurably roman tic. will linger and dream a bit ever both of them. On April 19, Grace Patricia Kelly, 26, daughter of a self-made millionaire Philadelphia contrac tor, ex-model, ex-New, York actress : and, she insists, ex-movie star, will marry his serene highness Prince Rainier III of Monaco. 32, who possesses also 23 other titles ranging from duke to seigneur. Two days later Mary Margaret Truman, 32, daughter of the 33rd president of the United States, con cert singer, television and radio performer, will marry Clifton Daniel, 43, New York newspaper man and former foreign correspon dent. Vivid Contrast The four principals and the trappings of the two romances couldn't offer a more vivid con trast. From their original meet - lngs to wedding plans the two stories illustrate colorfully the number of miles between Independ ence, Mo., and Monte Carlo to the east and Hollywood to the west. Starting at the beginning, com- 1are these two courses of true ovt: Grace Kelly, a, prime box office property, was presented to his serene highness last May when, with a photographer, she was mak ing publicity shots against the backdoor of the 14th century pal ace of the, Grimaldls. The next time she saw him was In Decem ber when he dropped in to call on the Philadelphia Kellys. Less than two weeks' later they announced their engagement. Met ia November Margaret Truman met suave, graying Cliff Daniels in early November when they were dinner ,.' guests of mutual friends, the George Backers, In New York. Tbey dated around New York regu larly for a couple of months, Daniel proposed late in January, was accepted, received the bless ing of his prospective in-laws. On March I he gave her a ring. No one suspected a thing. Thfen Daniel took his girl to Zebulon to meet-his parents and rumors started. They'd planned to make the announcement on March 13, but former President Harry S. Truman hastily called a press con. , ference a day early and read the brief, formal traditional announce ment. ' , There are other comparisons Rainier, to seal his proposal In Philadelphia, presented his bride-to be with a handsome circlet of in tertwined diamonds snd rubies, which, thoughtfully, he had packed along with him from Monaco. Later ho replaced on the proper finger of the left hand a magnifi cent 12-carat solitaire roughly the site and shape of a three cent stamp. Educated guesses place the ring's cost at around $20,000. Clifton Daniel went ring-shopping alone and presented his girl with a handsome round solitaire of something less than i carat. The pretty, delicate ring cost, diamond expert said, around 1, 000 an Important investment for a salaried man. Then there are the wedding plans. Miss Kelly will have six atten- dants and four flower girls. The bridesmaids have no idea what their gowns will be like: They sent their measurements to a Dallas store commissioned to ship up the costumes.

Miss Truman, on the other hand. will have a "small, quiet wedding for the families," with two of her oldest, closest friends as atten dants. She has always disliked formal wedding gowns and will be mamed in a short beige gown, a combination of lace and tulle. "After all," she remarked to s friend. girl." After the simple episcopal cere mony performed by the rector, the Rev. Patric Hutton. the couple, their parents and invited guests will return to the Truman's old- fashioned Victorian house for an old-fashioned, American wedding reception. After that, the honeymoon. The prince and princess will go for a cruise on their 125-foot yacht. Margaret and her bridegroom will have a honeymoon, but again in the American tradition, the desti nation is a secret. And then Margaret and her .husband will return to New York and an aprt- ment Hell go back to work. Shell continue her career, if she wants to.

She has agreed to give up ner career, the prince says. So far as Monacans are con cerned, her most important career is motherhood. For, lacking an heir or heiress, Monaco ultimately will crop into French hands under a 1918 treaty, and 4,000 subjects of the prince and 16.000 residents of his picture-postcard country will nave to start paying taxes.

By WASSEN EEXXETT NEW YORK (JUThe favorite dish of Americans dining in 32 hotels in this country and Can ada is Hungarian goulash. The fact that goulash and not steak is No. 1 on the hit parade of 13.843.000 hotel dinner orders last year may be as much of a surprise to you as it waa to Ern est F. Henderson, president of the Sheraton Corp. of America. Henderson wanted to know about the public's taste in food so he made it his business to find out hotels who lets him self get into the habit of being surprised, be said, is apt to find himself put of business very shortly. He discovered that chicken pot-pie is the second most pop ular order of people dining out In a three-way tie for third are spring lamb, beef tenderloin; and fried chicken. j Keclpes Tested j Here is how he' found out In Henderson's Boston headquar-1 ten are filed the favorite, once-1 secret recipes of the top hotel chefs in the Sheraton chain. These recipes are laboratory tested and then sent out to all hotels in the system to be placed on the menu at regular Intervals. Careful records of diners' pref erences are kept, city by city and region by region. Inactive menu items are constantly being weeded out Some regional favorites suf fered rough treatment Boston baked beans, for instance, were unable to stay on the nationwide list despite heavy preference at the home place. And New Eng land boiled dinners proved a flop everywhere but in New England. "Tap II Dishes Here, in addition to the five already mentioned, are the rest of the "top 10" on a national Kale: Breast of chicken sautee (hongroise); grilled ham steak, Hawaiian; baked coquille of crabmeat; breaded veal cutlet with spaghetti mllanese, and smoked finnan htddie. ;". Henderson said the statistical approach Is typical of modern chain operation today. In today's competitive situa tion, hotels must go out and mer chandise their wares namely, bed and board, he said. From Roberts' Decorating Studio "How green is our valley" especially in the spring of the year when grass and tree, ihrub and vine, soaked with our winter rains, all reach out with new vigor toward blossoming. With blue sky above the freshness of our valley is true enchantment We feel the same hit of spirit in planning a bedroom for a young couple who asked, "Do we dare use blue and green?" But of course! Especially since in this bedroom the south wall is ill window, open ing to the patio with no shade to temper the summer sun. Let's do the walls and rug in clear blue, use the beautiful blue and green Schumaker print which we show in our studio at the floor to ceilini windows and cover the bed with a green tailored spread. Now against this background let's use a pink chaise lounge, two large pink lamps, and for spice three pillows on tht bed in pink, blue and yes yellow, like a ray of sunshine. Let's begin with pink in the adjoining windnwleas bath, us ing it in the fixtures aa well is the tile and painted walls. A scored mirror oa one wall will give reflected light and dramatize the crystal fixture and the blue and green towels hung through the pretty brass iron head loops. The towel rings were part of a shipment of beautiful brass pieces which we unpacked a few days ago. It's worth a visit to the studio to see them as well as the Italian imported stamp and jewel boxes which just ar rived. These, entirely hand made, represent an old craft One shows a picture of the Holy Family as hung In the Louvre etched oa the cover.
